lent malignant skin disease. All ordinary reme-

What True Merit Will Do.

The unprecedented sale of Bos-
chee's German Syrup within a few
years, has astonished the. world. 1t
is without doubt the safest and best
remedy ever discovered for the speedy
and effcctual cure of Coughs, Colds
and the severest Lung troubles. 1t
acts on an entirely different principle
from the usual prescriptions given by
Physicians, as it does not dry up a
Cough and leave the disease still in
the system, but on the contrary re-
moves the cause of the trouble, heals
the parts affected and leaves them in
apurely healthy condition. A bottle
kept in the house for use when the
diseases make their appearance. will
save doctors bills and "a long spell of
serious illness. A trial will convince
you of these facts. 1t is positively
sold by all druggists and general
dealers in the land. Price IS cts,
large bottles.
